ST. LUKE'S Episcopal church: The
rector, Hev. Hogers Israel, pleached In
the mornlnK from the text "Thanks be
to Uod who ghcth us the vlctoty
through our I.oid Jesus Christ," I Cor
inthians, xv 117. lie discussed what he
tetmed the popular and probably true
Idea of the- two deaths, that of the body
nnd of the splilt, and cited the death
and tesuriectlon of Christ as an en
couragement to believe that through
them mankind mltrht find a victory.
The tesuriectlon teaches that physical
death Is but a birth, as witness Christ's
words "This day shalt thou be with mo
In Paradise.' Spiritual death Is a thlnir
of blackness and darkness; Its first
judgment is awful, and Its second Is
teirlble and bejond human de&crlptlon.
V 1th a faith In Christ's physical death
and spltltual like the human life shall
conquer amid all discouragements and
win by Ills inllnite mercy the ctown He
wote of tight. Thanks are due to God
who gives humanity the vlctoiy
through the Lotd Jtsus Christ.
HI.M PAHK Methodist churclr The
morning discourse of Ite. Dr. C. M.
Cilllln was baed upon John, xK 31,
"I1 or that Sabbath was a high day."
Ills theme was the supreme Inipoitanc

the chinch j ear tho headlight of the

riHST PIlESBYTi;niAX church
Hev. Dr. James McLcod's morning text
was 1 Peter. I .it The t-i&urrectlon led
Petet to bicak out In his great doxol
ogy. It Is a rote of triumph; the tes
urrectlon i the ke stone In the mighty
at eh of Christian ttuth, belief In tho
Keystone necessitates a belief In the
whole nt c li The doctrine of the resur
lectlon Is not like some other Christian
doettlnea whlih cannot be piovecl his
toricalb, huch as the Tilnltj and the
divlre Intai nation. The two latter can
not be ptovcii b.v appealing to hlstcny.
All that history can do Is to corrobo
tate the fac t that Chi istianlty has from
the beginning believed In the.e doc
trines, but histoij cm be appealed to In
juonf of the doctrine of Christ's tesur
iectlon. It Is ns rnrulili? of historic
pi oof ns Is the fact that George Wash

United State. The doetilnes which

God" alone and He raised Hliiiself, It
proves that if He i.ilsed Himself He

If He his hnld He would do It wo must
most steadfastly believe his word As
He wns the tame identical Saviour and
was so tocog lUed by His disciples after
His icsutieition so we will bo the same
Identical pel sons and will bo fo recog
nize 1 aflu our lesiuiectlon. We may
well bow down with Christendom today
and adore out then Itedtenijr, and, be
ing tilled with this living hope of which
Peter speaks, wo may look forward
to that Inheritance which N incoriuptl
ble and undoflled and that fadeth not
away.
PKNX AVHN'l'i: Baptist church:
"Th" Universal llastcr" was the morn
ing topic of Ke. Dr. Joseph K Dixon
His text was John v .J3, 'Marvel not
nt this for the hour U coming in which
nil that aio In thtlr Eiaes shall hear
Ills olto and shall comu forth." The
winds stattU and aiouse anxiety as to
their authoilty The speaker Is Jesus
but his speech is u.s natural as the
limpid summer stream He speaks of
two lesuircetions un'd atouses a won
dei that halts tho loftiest outreach of
the imagination. Chi 1st thus puts un
speakable) dignity upun tho human
body. No man can .save his soul and
tluow nwnj his body. The body Is
pieclous to Chnst and should he to us.
Iot this Hmter that he.heialdcd In
the car ot tho dissolute and the multi
tude who desecrate their bodies. Chi 1st
will speak life into your body after it
has mouldeied In the grave. No grave
can house .us from the voice cf the
King. A grave Is not a grave Dr.
Dixon discussed at length the achieve
ment of'inan In the resurrection of the
olco In tho phonograph and the ie
new at of our human bodice according
to latest bdeiice. evety 21 days some
ny 7 days- so that If a man lias lived
70 years ho has had 11S0 new bodies.
God has ulrendy displayed more om
nipotence on our bcdleb than It will
tako to make for us a redirection
body. The. assurance has In It tho
music ot a creat comfoit and the tri
umph overtho fej$te jcgnjfs through
the victory of Christ over tho grave.
SHCOND PITCSBYTEWAN church:
At tho morning service the sermon by
Hev. Dr. C, E. ltoblnson, the pastor,
was on the subject, "The Triumph of
Death." He spoke of death as only a
shadow from whence we pass Into tho
beautiful sunlight. Christ tasted death
for every man and thrauzli lib resur
rection a glorious victory over sin nnd
a triumphant entrance into the Heav
enly homo li assured tho believer.
There the mansions are prepared for
the Christian, Christ's death was but
a medium, nn Incident of transit into
n realm better than this. It was a
Facrldco which furnished a lesson that
the passage from here should suggest
nothing of the horrible to the mind of
the believer. Ills Buffering1 through
crucifixion made all the moro glorious
his resurrection and nsctr.lslon nnd
pointed out the reward that awaits
those who follow Him. Just such nn
experience as Ills was needed to con
trol and guide Christendom for nil
time; It rounded out the suggestions
ot His life; it fulfilled every promise
He iiad ever made; It Illustrated evety
lesson lie had ever taught; It answer
ed the denials of all Ills enemies,
WASIIUUHN faTHHET PHESnY
Tl.KIAN church: Rev. J. P. Moffatt
took tho text of his evening sermon
from Plrst Corinthians xv.20, "And
nov Is Chi 1st tlsen fioni the dead and
become the first fruits of them that
slept." He spoke In part ns follows:
"In all nations and in all times, there
has always been n vague hope of Im
mortality In the human heart, but not
until the coming of Christ Into tho
world did that hope become a definite,
hlstoilcal fact. Since the coming of
Christ Into the wot Id, God lmfl given
us a twofold token of our resurrection,
U: A gi eater and n lesser light. The
one, the return of spring, has always
been with men, suggesting to them
continually, the thought of the resur
rection of the body. The other, tho
risen Christ, Is a complete verification
of all man's fondest hopes in regard
to immortality. It Is lltttng that Eas
ter fchould be celebrated in the spring
time, for spring Itself Is a resurrection.
The spring-time reveal3 hidden forces.
It would be dtlllcult to convince one
who had never seen a. spring-time that
the trees, dead and bate, could live
again. Likewise It is oftentimes a dif
ficult matter to convince many persons
that the body can live- again. Tin
greater manifestation of the resurrec
tion to us Is the risen Christ. After all,
spting-tlme Is only a puiable rather
than a pioof of our resuneclion, but
In the Hiscii Christ, we have promise,
ptocf and pledge of the resuttection.
Ills resurrection Is the triumph over
Death. Chi 1st Is the "Death of Death."
After resuutctlon through the aton
ing 'jlcoct of Christ Is life eternal and
In Mto language of Honar's sweet
hmn:
Christ will be tho living splendor
Chi 1st, the sunlight, mild nnd tender,
Praises to the Lamb wo lender,
Ah, 'tis heaven at last!
Ilroken,, death's drond, that bound us,
Life nnd lctory around us,
Christ, tho King, Himself hath crowned
us.
Ah, 'tis heaven at last!
ST. MARK'S EPISCOPAL church,
Dunmore. Rev. E. J. Ilaughton last
night spoke of the glorious lesurrcc
tlon of Christ, and of His tilumphant
dominion over death. Christ's resur
tectlon was but the first fruits of a
great harvest. Shall not mankind, the
highest development of creation, live
again? AVe strive to attain wisdom
and knowledge, but the goal is never
reached; the soul earneth for some
thing far beyond this life. Nothing
upon this earth can comfort the soul,
It soars high above to Its Cteator, God
Life Is precious whether we suffer the
pangs of poverty or the tortures of
pain It cannot be that earth Is man's
only abiding place, else, why Is It that
the high and glorious aspirations which
leap like angels from the temple of our
hearts are forever wandering unsatis
fied.' We are God's creation and sute
ly God In His mercy will elevate us to
a hlght life, a destiny high above this
earth, where the weary receive comfort
and the heavy laden find a resting
place.
SIMPSON M. E. church: Rev. J. H
Sweet last night took his text from tUo
gospel of St. John, xx:20, the words
being; "Then weie the disciples glad
when they saw the Lord" He dwelt
upon the underlying thought In the
hopes and expectations of the disciples
In the founding1 of an earthly king
dom, as be ins the mission of tho Lord
upon earth and said' "How much
higher, clearer, more lasting is the
cladre3 of one to whom the Christ
appears tlsen and a Redeemer. The
Christian splilt of gladness cloes Indeed
fur exceed that of an earthly bource."
ST PETER'S CATHEDRAL: In his
sennon at 10 30 a. m. mass Rev. D. J.
MaeGoldrlck paid It was a consolation
to us that as our Lord died for sinners,
so almost It was only for sinners He
arose from the dead, a thousht sug
gested by the fact that the eiy first
pci son to whom our Loid appeared, as
lepoited In the sacted text, was Mary'
Magdalene, the prototype of what we
may bo when wo come to pat take of
the fiults of the reburrectlon.

Attorney Fred W. Delta Saturday
evening uddresscd n meeting of the
members nnd friends of the Scranton
Rowing club at their rooms on Spruce

Fleltz made the statement that the sys
tem resulted In the selection of better
candidates and better men and in the
people taking a more active general In
terest In politics. Hoodie delegates at
a convention Is a practical Impossibil

their ballot direct, thus dispensing
wjth the pilmary delegates The Baker
ballot Is In use In the system, said Mr.
rieltz, and to this is attributed a great
patt of Its success.

Realizing tho magnitude of the work

to aid financially and by deeds. The
legalizing of the liquor traffic Is de

provided for the licensed voters.
These churches, who once did so
much for mankind, now stand In the
way for the coming of the Son of God
and the establishment of Christ's
Kingdom In the lives and hearts of
men. That these churches should be
deserted by all who believed this, un

forsake Its sins, and provide organic

Engine No. 2, drawing passenger train
No. 12, on the Delaware and Hudson rail
road, ran off tho track at tho Carbon
street crossing at 7 50 o'clock Saturday
evening. Tho nccldent was caused bj an
open switch, which, It Is said, Engineer
Praunfeltcr did not see. Tho fact that
the train was running slowly probably
prevented what might havo been a serious
smash-up. As It was the engine ran along
on ties for thirty feet before it stopped.
Trafllc was delayed for over an hour,
when tho engine was once more seated
upon the rails and the trip north con
tinued. Notice.
